Suspect arrested in 6-year-old Ohio girl's abduction

Girl found injured miles from home

A man has been arrested in connection with an abduction of a 6-year-old girl in southern Ohio Friday.

Jackson Police Chief Carl Eisnaugle told WCMH-TV that 30-year-old Zach Dunn was arrested at about 8 p.m. Friday, and charged with the abduction of Macey Stewart, 6, of Jackson.

The girl was originally reported missing just after 2 a.m. Friday and was found close to seven miles away at about 4 p.m. when the girl came to a home and asked for help.

Eisnaugle told WCMH-TV the girl may have been injured during the abduction, and was kept in a hospital overnight while investigators try to determine if she suffered any other injuries.

According to a spokesperson with the Jackson County Children Services, Stewart will be placed in foster care once she is released from the hospital. WSAZ-TV said that the county had previously been investigating the girl's parents.

Dunn is being held in the Jackson County Jail, and Eisnaugle said he could face additional charges stemming from the abduction.

Bond for Dunn was set at $50,000.
